Perplexity

Build new uptime checks instantly.

Need to monitor a new endpoint? You can run `create_check` to set up HTTP or API monitoring on your services. This immediately gives you continuous status tracking without leaving the app. Alternatively, use `update_check` if an existing service's monitored parameters change. It lets you adjust things like intervals or endpoints right from your chat session.

Analyze historical uptime performance.

Want to know *why* a service went down? The `get_root_cause_analysis` tool pulls specific alert data, helping you pinpoint the exact cause of downtime. You also get context using `get_check_stats`, which provides detailed usage metrics over time. If you just need a quick overview, running `list_recent_alerts` gives you a list of recent issues and helps your team prioritize fixes.

Manage account details and integrations.

First, check the overall status with `get_account_info` to confirm billing or organizational settings. You can also map out all active connections by calling `list_integrations`, seeing what other services are hooked into your monitoring system. If you need to see which global points are checking your service, `list_monitoring_nodes` lists them up. This helps validate coverage across different geographic areas.

Common questions about Uptime.com MCP in Claude Desktop

The connection relies on local stdio transport, making it highly stable for running checks directly on your machine. You'll get real-time results from the uptime monitoring tools right in your chat.

Yes, because you use the native desktop app with local tool access, integrating Uptime.com is straightforward. You just add the server config to `claude_desktop_config.json`.

Since this uses a local stdio transport, it’s perfect for accessing resources like localhost or internal dev servers that aren't publicly reachable from the internet.

This server primarily touches Check Details and Account Profile data. It allows you to read, write, and update monitoring configurations for various services.

The limits are based on your account plan, but the local tool access means you maintain control over how often and where those checks run from your machine.
